CapMan Real Estate announces first close of Nordic Real Estate IV

CapMan Nordic Real Estate IV (CMNRE IV) the fourth vehicle in CapMan Real Estate’s value-add fund series, held its first close on 17 June 2026 supported by existing and new international investors. Building on strong momentum, the fund is on track to reach its target size of EUR 750 million in commitments.

The CMNRE IV fund is well-positioned to capitalise on the current repriced Nordic real estate market where the strong fundamentals are driven by population growth, urbanisation and the stable economies. Structured as an SFDR article 8 product the fund will target high growth real estate sectors across the Nordics with a primary focus on residential and public sector assets, alongside selective investments benefiting from other structural megatrends, such as hotels and logistics.

Having secured its first seed deal, a compelling residential project in Copenhagen, the fund is currently advancing several further attractive opportunities across its target sectors, supporting timely deployment of capital. CapMan Real Estate has acquired eight large residential projects in the Nordics over the past 12 months demonstrating the team’s expertise and conviction in this dynamic sector.

“CapMan Nordic Real Estate IV continues our established Nordic Real Estate value-add fund series and is set to be the largest fund to date. We are coming to market at a genuinely attractive moment as we are seeing a depth of opportunities across the Nordics that gives us real conviction in the strategy. We are confident in continuing to deliver strong performance and material sustainability gains for our investor partners,” says Mikael Rihto, Fund Director of the CapMan Nordic Real Estate Value-add Fund Series.

CapMan Real Estate sells airside logistics and last mile asset at Turku Airport, Finland

CapMan Real Estate has sold the airside logistics and last mile asset located at Turku Airport, Finland, held by CapMan Nordic Real Estate III fund (CMNRE III). The buyer is a Swedish publicly listed company Logistea.

The property is unique due to its location at Turku Airport adjacent to the airport’s runway, serving both air and ground freight and forming a significant node in the Finnish and Nordic logistics network. The main tenants are FedEx and DHL Express.

During CapMan Real Estate’s ownership, significant gains on the operational side were achieved. Net operating income (NOI) of the asset increased by over 30% during the holding period. Sustainability investments included, for example, LED lighting upgrades, a social premises upgrade, electric car chargers, a docking traffic light system, and the installation of cooling to the office premises.

These measures improved the property’s operational performance, tenant experience, and long-term value.

“We are pleased to have completed our business plan for this strategically located logistics asset and to hand over the property to its new owner. Logistics assets serve strong structural demand trends such as e-commerce, and this transaction highlights our active asset management ability to enhance the operational performance of the properties. We would like to thank the property’s tenants for the excellent cooperation throughout our ownership,” says Aleksi Konsti, Head of Finland at CapMan Real Estate.

Following this transaction, the CMNRE III fund continues its value-increasing activities and focus on exits across all remaining portfolio assets.

Warburg Pincus Announces Tender Offer for J.S.B. Co., Ltd.

Warburg Pincus logo

Positioning Japan’s Leading Student Housing Platform for Its Next Phase of Growth

Tokyo, June 12, 2026 – Warburg Pincus, the pioneer of global growth investing, today announced that it will launch a tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) to acquire all common shares and stock options of J.S.B. Co., Ltd. (“JSB” or the “Company”; Securities code: TSE 3480), a leading integrated student housing and services platform in Japan, at an offer price of JPY 9,000 per share and JPY 1,735,000 per stock option.

The Company’s Board of Directors has expressed its opinion in support for the series of transactions (the “Transaction”), including the Tender Offer, and recommended that shareholders and stock option holders tender their shares and their stock options. Warburg Pincus has also entered into tender agreements with the Company’s largest shareholders, the Oka Family (39.20%) and HIKARI TSUSHIN Group (19.27%), both of whom have agreed to tender their shares to the Tender Offer in support of the Transaction. Together, they represent more than 58% of the Company’s outstanding shares.

Following the Transaction, the Oka Family is expected to remain a long-term shareholder through a planned re-investment, reflecting a shared commitment to the Company’s long-term growth strategy.

JSB traces its origins to Kyoto Student Information Center Co., Ltd., founded in 1976, and was incorporated under its current name in Tokyo in July 1990. Today, JSB is Japan’s leading provider of student housing and related services with UniLife as its flagship brand. The Company manages approximately 100,000 student housing units across approximately 2,700 properties throughout Japan and maintains longstanding relationships with more than 1,200 universities and institutions nationwide.

JSB operates one of Japan’s most comprehensive living platforms for students, combining housing, operational management, dining, and student support services designed to help students transition successfully into university life. The Company plays an important role in supporting students, universities, local communities, and Japan’s broader education ecosystem.

Warburg Pincus intends to partner closely with the management team to accelerate JSB’s long-term growth strategy, including expanding the supply of high-quality student housing, strengthening university and community partnerships, enhancing student services and digital capabilities, pursuing strategic bolt-on acquisitions, and supporting future capital formation opportunities.

The partnership is intended to provide JSB with greater flexibility to pursue long-term investments and growth initiatives, while maintaining operational continuity and preserving the values and stakeholder relationships that have defined the Company since its founding.

Takashi Murata, Head of Japan and Co-Head of Asia Real Estate at Warburg Pincus, said:

“We are honored to partner with the management team and the Oka Family on JSB’s next phase of growth. Leveraging our extensive experience investing in Asia’s living and real estate sectors, our strong track record of partnering with management teams to scale market-leading platforms, and our global value creation capabilities, we are committed to supporting JSB’s continued growth, helping it better serve the evolving needs of the next generation of students across Japan and internationally.

We believe this partnership positions JSB to capture the significant long-term opportunities emerging from Japan’s evolving student housing market and further strengthen its position as the country’s leading integrated student living and services platform.”

Vishal Mahadevia, Head of Asia Private Equity at Warburg Pincus, said:

“JSB exemplifies the high-quality businesses we seek to back across Asia Pacific through our long-term partnership approach. This investment underscores both the strength of our Asia franchise and our deepening commitment to Japan, where we continue to see compelling private equity opportunities. We look forward to partnering with the management team to support JSB’s next chapter of growth.”

The transaction marks Warburg Pincus’ first take-private investment in Japan and follows the opening of its Tokyo office in 2025, underscoring the firm’s strong conviction in the market and its long-term commitment to expanding its investment footprint across both private equity and real estate in Japan. The investment further reinforces the firm’s long-standing belief in Asia’s living sector and builds on over two decades of experience backing leading living platforms across the region, including Tokyo Beta, Japan’s largest share-house platform; Good Host Spaces, India’s leading purpose-built student housing platform; Weave Living, a living sector specialist focused on the gateway cities in Asia Pacific.

The Tender Offer is expected to commence on June 15, 2026, and to continue until July 27, 2026.

  • Portfolio comprises three modern industrial assets in Savannah, Georgia, Jacksonville, and Lakeland, Florida 
  • Assets are fully leased and located near major ports and key regional transportation hubs 
  • Investment supports EQT Real Estate’s focus on high-quality logistics assets in supply-constrained growth markets throughout the U.S. 

EQT Real Estate is pleased to announce that the EQT Real Estate Industrial Value Fund VI (“EQT Real Estate”) has acquired a 2.4 million square foot logistics portfolio across three fast-growing markets in the U.S. Southeast, comprising Savannah, Georgia, Jacksonville, and Lakeland, Florida. 

The portfolio consists of three Class A industrial buildings with strong access to critical transportation infrastructure. The Savannah asset is located approximately five miles from the Port of Savannah, one of the busiest container ports in the U.S., while the Jacksonville building benefits from proximity to JAXPORT and regional road networks. The Lakeland asset sits along the I-4 corridor between Tampa and Orlando, a key location for serving Florida’s large and growing consumer base. The Port of Savannah handled 5.7 million TEUs in 2025, its second-busiest year on record, while JAXPORT moved more than 10 million tons of cargo over the same period.  

The assets are fully leased to a range of blue-chip tenants, and were built to modern logistics specifications, including cross-dock layouts, large building footprints, and clear heights that support efficient movement of goods. EQT Real Estate plans to deploy its hands-on approach to active management supporting long-term performance, operational quality, and resilience for current and future occupiers. 

Matthew Brodnik, Global Chief Investment Officer at EQT Real Estate, said: “The Southeast continues to stand out as one of the most important logistics corridors in the U.S., driven by population growth, expanding port activity, and the ongoing modernization of supply chains. This portfolio combines scale, modern functionality, and strategic access to critical transportation infrastructure across three markets that we believe will continue to see strong demand from businesses serving the region’s growing economy. 

EQT Real Estate would like to thank John Huguenard, Trent Agnew, and Will McCormack of JLL who advised the seller, a Brookfield affiliate, in the transaction.

Bain Capital and 11North Partners Acquire Five Open-Air Retail Centers for $300 Million

BainCapital

Platform Reaches 18 Assets and Nearly $1 Billion of Capital Invested

BOSTON & NEW YORK – May [XX], 2026 – Bain Capital and 11North Partners (“11North”) today announced the acquisition of five open-air retail centers located across California, Virginia, Florida, and Texas for approximately $300 million. The private transactions were executed through an exclusive joint venture between Bain Capital Real Estate and 11North focused on investing in high-quality open-air retail centers throughout the United States and Canada and across the core plus and value add spectrum.

Collectively, the portfolio totals approximately 757,000 square feet and spans Carlsbad, CA (North County San Diego), Falls Church, VA (Fairfax County), Altamonte Springs, FL (Orlando), and Sugar Land, TX (Houston) – all dense and affluent submarkets benefiting from strong retail fundamentals.  The centers are anchored by Harris Teeter, Trader Joe’s, Walmart, Costco, and Equinox, with anchor sales per square foot in excess of $900.  The portfolio, with in-place occupancy exceeding 93%, features a dynamic mix of food, fitness, medical, service and other necessity tenants, with low tenant health ratios.

“Open-air, grocery-anchored retail continues to demonstrate some of the most compelling risk-adjusted fundamentals in the real estate landscape. We are acquiring high quality, irreplaceable assets in undersupplied markets at a basis that would be structurally difficult to replicate,” said Brian Harper, Founder and Managing Partner, 11North.  “The demographic quality across this portfolio, with nearly $132,000 average household income within three miles, is a direct reflection of where we choose to allocate capital. These assets were individually curated based on the team’s decades of investing across the country, coupled with a data driven foundation. With several billion of remaining dry powder, we will remain disciplined in how and where we invest.”

“These assets align squarely with our strategy of building a portfolio of institutional quality, open-air centers, anchored by best-in-class necessity and lifestyle tenants that serve as cornerstones of their communities. Each asset was underwritten using our proprietary data-driven framework, which allows us to evaluate markets, submarkets, and individual assets with a level of precision and conviction we believe is differentiated in this sector,” said Martha Kelley, a Managing Director at Bain Capital Real Estate. “Following our successful joint capital raise in December, our platform is well capitalized to continue scaling with discipline, and partnering shoulder-to-shoulder with 11North gives us the retail investment and operational expertise to create lasting value for our investors and the communities these centers serve.”

The acquisition of these five assets follows Bain Capital and 11North’s recent capital raise of $1.6 billion dedicated to investing in open-air retail through the co-owned, 11North platform.  Together with participation from Bain Capital Real Estate Fund III, the platform has access to more than $2 billion of investable equity.  Since launching their joint venture in April 2024, Bain Capital and 11North have curated a portfolio of 18 assets totaling over two million square feet across six transactions.  With nearly $1 billion of capital deployed to date, the partnership remains focused on expanding its portfolio in markets with strong demographic tailwinds and exceptional retail productivity.

Ardian and Lamar Development acquire 10,000 sqm building on Calle Alcalá 38-40, Madrid

Ardian

Ardian, a global private investment firm, and Lamar Development, a real estate developer with presence in the Gulf and Europe, announced today the joint acquisition of a prominent office building located on Calle Alcalá 38-40, in the heart of Madrid’s city centre.

The asset dates back to 1880 and features a total area of ca. 10,000 sqm distributed across seven floors with a private courtyard garden on the ground floor and a rooftop terrace. The property occupies a prime location on Calle Alcalá 38-40, located at the intersection with Gran Vía, directly opposite the iconic Metropolis Building and within walking distance of the Four Seasons Hotel and Galería Canalejas, Plaza de Cibeles and the Banco de España.

The partnership intends to undertake a comprehensive redevelopment of the property, transforming it into a high-end residential complex. The renovation will be carried out to the highest standards, with the project aiming for a high-level environmental certification. Lamar Development will manage the project, drawing on their experience in high-end residential projects and collaborations with internationally recognised architects and designers including David Chipperfield, Studio MK27, Jacobsen Arquitetura, Sordo Madaleno and Patricia Urquiola.

The vision for the project is aligned with Ardian’s real estate strategy, which focuses on high-quality assets in strategic locations and based on value creation through active asset management, with the aim of improving facilities, asset performance and, ultimately, realizing their full potential.

“We are very excited about this latest acquisition in Spain. This project reflects our trust in the local real estate market and our dedication to developing best-in-class real estate in major European cities. We are firm believers in Madrid’s potential as a dynamic and growing city and look forward to contributing to the development of the city with innovative and sustainable projects.” Edmund Eggins, Head of Real Estate Spain & Managing Director, Ardian

“This acquisition marks our second investment in the immediate area and reflects our conviction in both Madrid and the continued evolution of this area as one of Europe’s most compelling luxury residential destinations. With Casa Lamar in Cedaceros 9 (www.casalamar.com), we began building our vision for this part of the city, and Alcalá 38-40 represents a natural continuation of that commitment.” Henri Hottinger, European Partner, Lamar Development

Blackstone Real Estate Debt Strategies Launches Homebuilder Lending Platform

Blackstone

Expects to Support Construction of over 50,000 New Homes Annually

New York – May 11, 2026 – Blackstone (NYSE: BX) today announced that Blackstone Real Estate Debt Strategies (“BREDS”) has launched a lending platform that will provide much needed capital and flexibility to homebuilders, and expects to enable the construction of over 50,000 for-sale homes across the United States annually.

This lending platform is supported by BREDS portfolio company, Brio Homebuilder Solutions, as well as partnerships with third parties. This commitment comes at a time when the U.S. is facing a critical housing shortage. Fewer homes are being built today than in 1960, despite the U.S. population nearly doubling.

Tim Johnson, Global Head of Blackstone Real Estate Debt Strategies, said: “America needs more homes, and we are proud to be part of the solution. Our homebuilder lending platform will help deliver thousands of new homes across the United States, directly addressing the critical housing supply gap in communities where people want to live.”

This platform builds on Blackstone Real Estate’s longstanding commitment to providing high-quality, affordable housing. Tricon Residential, a Blackstone Real Estate portfolio company, has developed or is developing ~64,000 single-family homes and home sites. Blackstone Real Estate’s affordable housing portfolio company, April Housing, is on track to be the largest preserver of affordable housing in 2026. Together with Blackstone, April Housing has already preserved the affordability of over 3,000 apartments and invested over $300 million to improve its communities through its newly launched resyndication program.

About Blackstone Real Estate Debt Strategies
Blackstone Real Estate Debt Strategies (“BREDS”) is the largest alternative asset manager of real estate credit with $78 billion of investor capital under management. Serving institutional, insurance, and individual investors, BREDS originates loans and makes debt investments across global private and public real estate credit markets and across the capital structure and risk spectrum. BREDS also manages Blackstone Mortgage Trust (NYSE: BXMT), a publicly-traded commercial mortgage REIT, and is a fully integrated part of the Blackstone Real Estate platform, the largest owner of commercial real estate globally.
